Here's a few places I've noted that use Meditech...sm
Ascend, Accentus, DataKey, DeVenture (some accts.), Keystrokes (some accts.), MDI - Florida (some accts.), NEMT (some accts.), Philbrick Transcriptions, PMSI in Alabama, SA Wynn, SPI/Cymed, Superior Global (maybe in conjunction with ExText, and Synthescribe... so far. nm
I've used both and I prefer Medrite
It's more user friendly as far as someone who's used to Word programs go. It's got its little idiosyncrasies like any program but I've tried several different ones over the last few years and so far I'm favoring Medrite over the scribe platforms I've tried. It Is slower tho, that's the only thing. It's slow loading up when u first turn it on, slow to look up past reports but its not significant enough to warrant me looking elsewhere when I consider that for me its just easier to navigate.
Plus it has its own built-in word expansion which again is a no-brainer. It's just like autocorrect. And you don't have to start from scratch, it already has a lot of the more common words already in there, you just add some as you go. For me, Bayscribe took much longer to learn, it seemed like everything was more complicated than it needed to be but I did manage to learn it so it's not impossible.
Also, Medrite has a problem with using ShortHand but as I use their word expansion 100% I don't even miss it.
Hope this helps. :)
LOVE Bayscribe, HATE MedRite! MedRite when I used it was slow sm
and cumbersome -- would type and wait for it to catch up! Plus it had some annoying thing where if you were gone too long, a pop up window came up and you had to explain why you were gone. Bayscribe is fast, smooth, user friendly, and at the end of each report you can see how many lines you did and how much money you made, for that report and for the total day.
Good luck to you whatever you decide! 
so noted. thanks (nm)

Thank you, mt50. It should be noted that sm
the reason some of us older ones have injuries and infirmities is because this type of work has caused them! I have terrible arthritis in both hands that my ortho said was caused by this type of work, and that healthy MTs should not type more than 6 hours a day TO REMAIN HEALTHY.
If anything, we older MTs are bringing up the quality average. I'd love to see these smug MTSOs do without us, especially when they get new accounts and put their best-quality producers on them to snare the account.
Even with my arthritis, and s/p fractured wrist, I can and do transcribe (straight text, no templates) at 300-375 lph with 99-100% quality. But I can't do that many lines for 8 hours, 5-6 maybe if there's work in my queue and I don't have to make phone calls begging for more and waiting an hour before the clerks get around to sending it.
Among other things noted below, -
their QA department is pretty much brain dead.
duly noted years and not moths, but that.....
does not change the intent of my post. I've been at this over 15 years and I would never work as an employee. I would be in big trouble at the end of the year if I did not have my write-offs.
RE: WinScribe
Has anyone ever used WinScribe system? I looked at one the other day and wondered if anyone could tell me about working with it. Also, has anyone heard of Scribedoc Company, I think, in Virginia?
when using Winscribe
Is there very much training involved with WinScribe? Is it fairly easy to learn or what? amj
Winscribe
Can anyone tell me about this platform, opinion of its friendliness or not.
Winscribe
Thanks so much for the info. I will be working pretty much the same way. I just wanted to make sure about Winscribe, I used to work on Bayscribe and had lots of problems with it going down for hours. Any problems like this with Winscribe? 
Companies that use WinScribe
Does anyone use WinScribe with the company they may work for and if so, how is it? Is it easy to learn, etc.? Also, can a word Expander program be used with WinScribe?amj
Winscribe is super easy. There's
nothing to it. You see the jobs that are available and click to open, type. Have no fear. :)
Keystrokes, Chartscript,winscribe
I am starting with KS next week. It is an account that uses Chartscript/Winscribe. I am not familiar with this platform, but I see a lot of people like Chartscript. Not sure how these are used together. Anyone familiar with a setup like this? This is a VR account (I know, crazy) but the rate is the same as straight typing, so I will take it for now.
Thanks.
Curious. Scrolling down yesterday and noted comment about unfair labor practice
suit possibly brought by an MT against a certain company. I know this company only hires ICs - not employees. Is this possible? TIA.
Need info on WinScribe platform software
Does anyone use the WinScribe platform software for any company and if so, is it any good, etc.? amj
Anyone ever worked on Winscribe Internet Typist?
Pro's? Con's? Any information would be greatly appreciated! TIA
That should read ... Has anyone ever used Winscribe Internet Typist?
It has been a VERY long day. Thanks!
I work on Winscribe for Spheris. Its a piece of cake. sm
It shouldn't take no more than 5 minutes to learn.
Has anybody ever worked in WinScribe? Is is user friendly and productive? nm

Cquence
When I worked somewhere else we started using Reflections and it was so much faster and easier to type in. The system I am using is hard to type in just like the other that is why I wanted a terminal Emulator so that I could use it on my computer with the cable Any suggestions? Thanks for your reply
Cquence MT
Help me please has anyone every heard of Cquence MT or commonly called CMT . I am looking for a terminal emulator such as reflections,etc. that is compatible with this program. Thanks so much, Mamma J.
Do you mean Cquence?
If you do, it is really bad news. Very outdated.
Cquence
Oh no really?? Great, back to the drawing board then. Tell me more about it please??
Cquence
No, Cquence is not easy to work with. Not only is it not user friendly, but you cannot view past reports.
Cquence

Anyone have Cquence experience?
Any information good or bad would be helpful...
TIA
My third week on Cquence...sm
And at first it was just arrghhh! But now I've got my routine down pat with it and my production the last few days has been very good. The line counts are true, in my account I am also getting paid for headers and footers, so I have no complaints.
For me there is ALWAYS a learning curve with a new platform. And yes, I think some platforms are quicker to handle than others ... I also think everyone's experience may be different, so I would encourage you to keep an open mind. It is turning out good for me after a few weeks. You can e-mail me if you have any other questions. 
Cquence platform
Can anyone tell me if the Cquence platform is easy to work with and get lines relatively easy. Thanks
CMT is part of Lanier's Cquence
on-line program part, as far as I know. There are 2 parts to it, the Next Wave Player and CMT. Cquence is the name of the entire program. What is it you want to do with it? Why an emulator?
All I know is that they use Cquence software. That's why I was wondering how it is to use. nm
s
I used Cquence for a couple years
I thought it was a pain in the rear.
Currently with eMTS, use Cquence and ChartScript.
.
I should have been more specific; e-MTS Cquence platform does NOT pay for spaces (sm)
only black characters
Cquence is a Lanier system.It was okay but clumsy.
nm
Any e-MTS MTs out there on Cquence platform that does not pay spaces? have question (sm)
How does your lines per hour being paid for ''no spaces'' add up compared to your previous experience being paid ''with spaces?'' How many lines less per hour do you type roughly? I am very leary about not being paid for spaces. Thanks
They use several software types, inc. CareFlow and cQuence,
s
Cquence pay is 65-character with NO spaces, only black characters which equates to
approximately 1.5 to 2 cents per line less than 65-character with spaces.
Prior posts said they used CareFlow and Cquence software, both of which get knocked down as

MQ Medrite
I am surprised that there are still accounts on Medrite. The goal of MQ from what I can see is to get all of the accounts that they possibly could up on the new platform. I believe that the Amherst office has changed or done away with all their Medrite accounts--they are nothing but the new platform with the Foxboro office being the MTs office, which I would think that they would be working on getting those accounts up on the new platform and doing away with MTS just like Medrite. Wasn't the Medrite system what got MQ into the billing issue to start with or was it just bad billing practices all over. My girlfriend just went thru the training for the new platform with 14 other MT's which included newbies which we still can not understand as we are running out of work and having to deal with 4 and 5 accounts to get our lines but that is the MQ choice of the future
MedRite
I have done a search on this board but not much info on MedRite. I know they have their own Expander but can you use Shorthand with this program; I really don't want to have to start from scratch building lists. Will do what I have to do though.
Medrite
I replied to this message but it was posted as a reply to the wrong topic so here I go again:
I've been trying to get someone to answer this question for me for months now. The Expander in Medrite is extremely limited and the 'techie' in my company has a copy of Shorthand that he can sort of test to see if it works with Medrite and he still has not gotten around to it..that was 2 months ago. If there is ANYONE out there that can answer this question, please let us know. It would surely increase our production, because at this rate, Medrite is holding me back.
Medrite
The Medrite I use is in Windows.
MedRite-XL
I have been using it for two weeks and they have been two weeks of hell. This is the worst work nightmare of my life. Working in their version of MSWord is like being in a straightjacket. If you have an IQ below normal, maybe you will like it since everything is managed for you by the supervisor.
Could it be MedRite?
I loved working on MedRite. Would love to find it again. Would you share what company is using it?
Medrite XL, etc.
Thanks for the feedback. That's the type of thing I was looking for.
Incidentally, is MedRite XL a good or bad software to work with (for future reference)?
Thx again!
VR and MedRite
We currently use an upgraded version of MedRite for transcription and just learned that some accounts in my company are going to VR. Does anyone know if MedRite has its own VR, or does this mean that my company purchased a VR platform that is compatible with MedRite? If anyone know anything about MedRite and VR I'd really appreciate hearing about it. I use Instant Text with MedRite and currently do about 300+ lines per hour straight typing. I'm really nervous about VR since most of what I hear is negative. My husband lost his job and so I can't afford a paycut, but want to be prepared. Any good/bad concerning Medrite and VR would be greatly appreciated.

Productivity of MedRite
Anyone experienced with MedRite? Is this productive for the MT or time-consuming. Thanks
I LOVED Medrite!
I was a lot more productive on it than on DQS. It was a lot more user friendly as well. DQS is set up for VR, not for the lowly MTs.
As far as I know, nothing is compatible with Medrite, sm
especially if you are working in DOS. I worked on it for over a year and never did get the hang of remembering my own word expansions. I used IT too long and could not get used to anything else.
